Description: | The ventral face has a bulb and cortex at its proximal tip; it was not struck from a prepared platform! The dorsal face has a medial ridge with flake removals towards each margin. In the proximal third the removals are abrupt, creating a narrow tang which could ahve been hafted. The distal end ha sa semi-abrupt flake removal and abrupt retouch. It could have been a scraper.The piece is made from mottled light to dark grey flint. It is probably derived from a local beach pebble by the look of its secondary cortex.Mercer illustrates a similar piece on Page 127 Fig 56 No L94, which he called an edge trimmed flake and placed in the Neolithic period.
